Just a Silly Poem I Wrote

Just because I like
To write poetry
Doesn’t mean I have
To wear scarves
And hang out in coffee shops
Drink red wine
And wander art galleries
It doesn’t mean
I have to read books
About Mary Cassatt
And use superfluous diction
In everyday speech
Just because I like
To write poetry
Doesn’t mean I have
To wear silly hats
And shop in dusty
Bookstores
And eat pretentious food
And walk alone in the rain
Daydreaming about Utopia
